If you need an excuse to bring your special someone to Slovenia, we think that the fact that it’s the only country in the world with ‘love’ in its name is a pretty solid one. And to make it even better, you can take your better half on a hike with the goal of reaching a Love bench. What’s more special than a scenic spot, a cozy bench, and a nice view?

Love benches (Klopce ljubezni) are scattered throughout the country, inviting visitors to sit back, soak in the landscapes, and enjoy a quiet moment in nature. Whether you’re traveling to the Alps, vineyards, forests, or coastal cliffs, there’s a perfect Love bench waiting for you.

The Love bench with one of the best panoramic views of Lake Bled is a true romantic classic. A scenic hike, breathtaking views, and a Bled cream cake (blejska kremšnita) to sweeten the moment. Sounds like the perfect date, right?
